Abstract :

for modern men. Limited fuel resources on the one hand and the over consumption of fossil fuels on the other hand have totally led to environmental problems and major changes including: the weatherwarmth, the North pole ice melting and various other problems for the inhabitants of the globe .Due to the above mentioned problems, many countries specially industrial ones have followed the natural resources suchas solar and wind energy based on their climate conditions with their respective architecture. Regarding the present condition of fuel consumption in Iran, unfortunately there seems to be no harmony amongbetween the Iranian architecture and the construction materials used. Using the traditional wind-traps, shades, and sleeping porches, in older buildings in the past today we witness imitation of western models in architecture and under–estimation of construction materials and their compatibility with environmental factors in modern Iran. So, there seem to be more environmental pollution and energy loss than in the past.During the present paper, we have tried to provide some practical guidelines so as to use more natural energy resources in making, so called,a green city.
